That’s about the dumbest, fear mongerimg article I’ve ever read.

They have no idea if it’s bunk tests, reinfected, still infected, never was infected the first time, NOTHING. Maybe having a story before printing a story would be a good thing.

I would have figured Al would have gotten a can of beer shoved up his keester. That's the fun part about math and data. You can find interesting things, but are those things super relevant and what do you do with them as a result is what's key. Face it, we are being deluged in data, no thanks to China.

I actually believe the Doc was simply making a point to men to keep up with their health in general and attempted to use Covid data to make a relevant point. Would anyone have listened to her say 6 months ago if she randomly showed up one day to make the point that men should see their doctor regular during a random presser with a limited audience? Worst case, she was an opportunist, delivering a rational message and using some 'extra' leverage to make the point.

In the way of reminder; the current guidance is: if a family member contracts the Chinese virus from Wuhan, China, all family members stay home and away from everybody else. Frankly, I don't see most Americans with the supplies or knowledge to whip up an isolation room in their own house. It's totally doable, but unlikely. So their advise stands as a practical matter.

The reason a grocery cart is so large and has wheels is so you can fill it with beer and load some groceries on top of the beer. Serendipitous, more men are talking (at least thinking) about men's health and their family's health - and that's a good thing. Originally Posted by Why_Yes_I_Do

WYID - Thanks - i was trying to be satiric. you have good points. Agreed

One thing - If One person in a family home tests positive for Wuhan virus - it is assumed all persons in the home are exposed and infected. some may not show symptoms. isolating One person in a family home is after the fact, unfortunately.

That testing and alleged result bears further investigation, but don't get your hopes up that we can all stay home and get checks from the government for the next 18 months - motherfuckers are going to have to work or our society will break down. Originally Posted by friendly fred

what don t u understand about that.

people will not go out to bars, etc if this is an issue, so yeah this is bad news if accurate

ive never got a check from the govt in my life, so direct that elsewhere, but im sure you are for corporations getting bail outs and stock buy backs from us the taxpayers,

im sure u dont mention that as an issue

people are unemployed through no fault of their own, gotta keep the economy going somehow, trump had no choice to do it

he will do again i would bet hes gonna have to based on this if accurate.

Until the Vaccine comes social distancing is only defense we have. Originally Posted by adav8s28

What I think some of our esteemed fellow posters don't realize is that without these sorts of steps, your death game guess, around 1.5 million, is plausible. At least it is if the mortality rate (% of those infected who die) thrown out by the head of the CDC and by Bill Gates, around 1% or 1.2%, is right. Some of what I've read and my gut tell me it's considerably lower, but those two know more about this than any of us.

bail out companies and not the workers,

nah im not for that, are you

bail out people first, they lost thier job no fault of thier own, but yes i agree not 18 months, but 6 months is enough when every senator and congressman are making crazy money on our backs and getting free medical insurance for thier family for life

ill say that again in case you dont understant

free medical inusrance for thier family for life for every senator and congressman

now lets concentrate on that issue first before crying about people getting a little wage of unemployment during this crisis,

im still working but i side with the people not the corrupt politicians or the greedy corporations who want huge profits and when things go wrong or thier profits are not a level they want they go crying to the government to bail them out

fuck that

You aren't even an engineer or a mathematician, by your own admission, so stop trying to splain figurin' to me.

You can put anything you want on the x and y axis.

When it is new cases on Y, and days on X, and it is roughly the same each day, over a 5 or 6 day period, that ain't exponential. That's what I'm talking about, ExNYer.

If at first it is 50 per day, and 6 days later, it is 500 per day, that portion of the curve for that graph is exponential over the time frame, like NYC.

Texas ain't got that! Originally Posted by friendly fred
